DescriptionCVE.org

Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in Elementra <= 1.0.9 versions.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated PHP object injection in the WordPress Elementra theme (versions ≤ 1.0.9) allows remote attackers to deliver crafted serialized payloads that trigger deserialization of untrusted data. With no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the CVSS 9.8 vector still indicates network-reachable, no-auth exploitation against any WordPress site running an affected Elementra build. Successful chaining with a POP gadget in WordPress core or other installed plugins typically yields remote code execution or full site compromise.

Technical ContextAI

Elementra is a commercial WordPress theme published by themerex_group (CPE cpe:2.3:a:themerex_group:elementra). The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data): PHP code somewhere in the theme passes attacker-controllable input to unserialize() (or an equivalent sink such as maybe_unserialize), instantiating arbitrary objects whose magic methods (__wakeup, __destruct, __toString) execute during teardown. Because WordPress core and many popular plugins ship known POP (property-oriented programming) gadget chains, even a single injection point in a theme typically suffices to reach file write, SQL, or command execution sinks without the theme itself containing the dangerous code.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/elementra/vulnerability/wordpress-elementra-theme-1-0-9-php-object-injection-vulnerability lists affected versions ≤1.0.9 without naming a fixed release, so administrators should monitor themerex_group for a version above 1.0.9 and apply it as soon as it ships. In the interim, the most effective compensating control is to deactivate and remove the Elementra theme and switch to a different theme (trade-off: site appearance and theme-specific shortcodes will break); if removal is not feasible, deploy a WAF rule (Patchstack, Wordfence, or equivalent) to block requests containing serialized PHP payload markers such as 'O:' followed by a class name and ':{' against theme endpoints, accepting that false positives are possible on legitimate serialized cookies or form data. Restricting public access to AJAX, REST, or admin-ajax endpoints exposed by the theme via IP allowlists is a further hardening step where business requirements allow.
